  • Filling up!

    As gas prices hover near $4 a gallon nationwide, there are more than 20 SUVs and trucks that cost more than $100 to fill up. But, there are almost 30 cars that cost less than $50 to refuel. We crunched the numbers and found the cheapest cars in America to fill up.


    Festiva owns this!

    What is the actual capacity of the festiva's fuel tank? I almost always run it down as far as possible(not usually on purpose). My volume seems to vary depending of the pump, though.

        When I go to fill my 88 up when it is sitting on E it takes 7 gallons. Granted I've only filled it up twice now and I don't think the gauge it 100% working right.

          wow, 10? I've never hit that. Today I ran out of gas and filled it up and it only took 9.2. Which is the most ever.

            10 minus fuel pump, sock filter, fuel guage sensor, etc.
            If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

                              Somebody asked this question once before, at least. Once, Festiva & I traveled 520 miles while on vacation. I'd been running on empty for 50 miles, but pretty sure I could make the next town. After 526 miles I tanked up on 9.83 gallons. Figured I got 53+mpg on that tank.

                              Another time, I had a full tank plus a full 5 gal. gas can. Traveled the backroads of eastern Oregon for 720 miles before gassing up.
